  • Interest Level: Grade 4 - Grade 8
  • Reading Level: Grade 4

A friend has vanished, a mummy’s amulet is missing, and there’s a weirdo out there looking for human brains and hearts. The Chicagoland Detective Agency—run by Megan, Raf, and his talking dog Bradley—have more than enough cases on their hands (and paws). But where to start? Megan’s too busy for private-detecting. Her haikus won her tickets to meet the drop-dead gorgeous rock star Sun D’Arc. Raf is sure that Sun is too good not to be really bad. He must be involved in one of their cases. And what about Sun’s suspiciously familiar manager? Or the pushy new girl at school? Can Bradley, dog genius, pull his team together and sniff out what suspect goes with which case?

Reviews

School Library Journal

“Those who want plots that are more Scooby Doo than Nancy Drew will enjoy this silly romp of a mystery.” —School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

“Page’s black-and-white cartoon panels are full of pulpy action and visually exciting cinematography and include several ‘screen shots’ from MyBlogFace…. Good graphic fun.” —Kirkus Reviews

Booklist
